[Users] Shortest guide about running OpenVZ containers on top of ZFS

[Nick Knutov]

When you need quotes and there is only one way to get them...

I don't think ploop is about to solve ext4 troubles. I's just solve some
troubles (which are common to a lot of file systems).

ZFS in this case is more alternative to Parallels Cloud Storage which is
closed source and hard to get even for money (I contacted Parallels
sales several times and never got the pricelist from them).

Also, ZFS is good in case of NAS with large amount of SSDs or usual
disks with l2arc cache on SSD. And you can use ploop over ZFS in this
case. I suppose ploop over glusterfs (for example) and most of others
file system with any redundancy (I mean any realization of raid idea)
will be more pain then usable solution, for comparison.
